Description
The Couchbase .NET SDK (client library) before 3.7.1 does not properly enable hostname verification for TLS certificates. In fact, the SDK was also using IP addresses instead of hostnames due to a configuration option that was incorrectly enabled by default.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for CouchbaseNetClient, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update CouchbaseNetClient to 3.7.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-49015 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
